Keith Richards reportedly will not promote the new ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movie - after saying he snorted his dead dad’s ashes.

Concerned Walt Disney Studio bosses have decided the Rolling Stones guitarist is too unpredictable to promote ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End’.

Dennis Rice, Disney’s senior vice president for publicity, said: “When (a senior Disney publicist) forwarded the ashes story to me, I thought, ‘How are we going to spin this?’

“Keith won’t be doing a lot of publicity for this movie.”

Keith has a much-anticipated cameo as Teague Sparrow, the father of pirate Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp).
